The 'febit science lounge' presents: Webinar About Role of Non-Protein-Coding RNA in Human Genome Set for 11 a.m. EDT on June 12

LEXINGTON, Mass. and HEIDELBERG, Germany, June 5 febitholding gmbh today unveiled plans for the first of a series of educationalWebinars geared for genomics researchers worldwide.

Moderated by febit's chief scientific officer, Peer Staehler, thefirst Webinar, which is set for 11 a.m. EDT on June 12, will feature JohnMattick, Ph.D., a world-renowned researcher whose focus is the role ofnon-protein-coding ("junk") RNA in relation to the evolution and developmentof complex organisms.

"Genetic information that programs complex organisms lie in non-proteincoding RNA," said Dr. Mattick, foundation professor of molecular biology anddirector of the Centre for Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, with theInstitute for Molecular Bioscience at the University of Queensland, Australia."This massive hidden network of regulatory information directs the precisepatterns of gene expression during growth and development."

Mr. Staehler added: "This educational Webinar for the genomics researchersis the first of many to come. The team at febit is dedicated to supportresearchers to solve the challenge of understanding biological processes."
